I have had this quote running through my head for weeks: “Everything
will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
If it’s not okay, IT’S NOT THE END.
I am a sucker for happy endings. I like it when the guy and
girl get together. When the family is reunited. When the team wins. When the
hero succeeds and the enemy is defeated.
I love it all.
Sometimes the sad ending is the realistic one—but I’ve been
thinking lately, even if it’s sad, it’s not over; it’s not the end. There’s
tomorrow, there’s next year, there’s another season, another chance. Even in
the face of death, there’s life for those who remain.
Isn’t that the truth of God’s redemptive story for us?
We have hope—always—because it’s not the end. And when it is
the end, it’s going to be good, victorious, glorious.
That’s why His hope never disappoints (Rom 5:8), why it is
an anchor for our soul (Heb. 6:19)—both sure and steadfast.
The other day, I feel like the Lord reminded me that anyone
who is destined for greatness must have a good story. And any good story
requires an obstacle, a conflict, an unfulfilled dream.
Maybe you need to hear that today. You’re destined for
greatness in God’s kingdom—and He’s writing a good story in your life.
How can we be sure?
Because God’s word is true, and He’s promised His plans for
us are good—to give us a hope and a future (Jer. 29:11).
What’s your obstacle right now? Whatever it is, it’s not
permanent.
Take heart, my friend, if you’re struggling today.
It’s only for a season, a chapter, a section, a volume—but it’s not forever,
and it’s not the end.
